absolutely fabulous! =D
I like stories that depict the future in certain ways. Immediately my mind starts to assess the gaps and realize how close we actually are to such a future. No matter how many times, no matter how many movies this happens in, I can’t help but have this visceral reaction to seeing a sparsely populated planet Earth.
Wall-E starts off with exactly that future. Empty. Desolate. Lone. Void of any organic life. I loved it!
Without actually giving out any details, I think the movie could have ended about 5 minutes before it did. And if it did, it would have taken the movie to an entirely different level. But I understand this is a Disney movie targeting children. I have come to terms with this.
Oh, one of the things I noticed during the movie was that I was laughing a good 2 to 3 seconds before everyone else. Either I was seeing into the movie more than was there, or everyone else was just slow that day.
Yes, if you haven’t seen it, you should go see it.
9/10
p.s. thanks for asking me out to see it. besides just talking about it, i might not have actually gone to see it otherwise.
so glad you went to see it, buddy!
i recently mentioned my campaign to make you see it on kk’s post, too.
how’d you like the hand-holding? =)
=)
i agree re. ending 5 minutes earlier, and i quite expected pixar to give kids enough credit to be able to handle it at that.. but sigh.
still, intelligent film (:
😀
whhheee, the handholding! so glad you liked it.
beyond the hand holding though, it has an interesting social commentary thing going as well. reminds me of idiocracy in some ways…

This happens to me all the time. Especially in meetings. Also, sometimes, I find things to be funny that no one else finds to be funny and so it seems like I’m laughing at a speaker.
Also, the credits were remarkably interesting and worth watching in their own right.
what was so interesting about the credits?
